Call For Papers on Searles Valley History

On March 27, 2014, the community of Trona, California will celebrate its 100th anniversary.  To honor the founding of the community by Stafford Austin, husband of Mary Austin, author of Land of Little Rain, a symposium on the history of the Searles Valley will be held Friday, March 28th, 2014 in the Trona High School Auditorium.  All papers invited need to be related to the history of the valley and the communities, landscape, people and places, not its prehistory (ethnohistory is encouraged) and not regarding the history of Death Valley, unless there is a direct nexus to Searles Valley.  Papers on bootlegging, the Epson Salt Monorail, Garden Station, The History of Roads in and Through the Searles Valley, Shady Myrick, Trona in the 1950s, the History of the Searles Valley Historical Society, Water Development, Early Mining History of the Valley, John Searles and his Borax Mining effort, Water Development, and the relationship of Edwin Beale and the Searles brothers have already been proposed.  All papers should be PowerPoint and approximately 20 minutes in length, with 10 minutes for questions and answers and for time to set up for the next presentation.  A written copy of all papers should be delivered prior to the paper; they will be published by the Searles Valley Historical Society.  For additional information on the three day centennial celebration you are encouraged to visit the Trona Centennial Celebration page on FACEBOOK, created by Lezlie Foreman.

To submit an idea please contact Russell Kaldenberg, Trona Centennial Committee Chair,  at moc.setailiffamsanull@grebnedlakr or call 760 585-5280 for additional information.
